Thermal Tests: CCD Camera Heatpipe Cooling System Test & End2End Test test The complete telescope setup including 4 radiators that remove the heat from the cameras and the electronic boxes through a complex heat pipe system are placed in a thermal shroud in the vacuum chamber which has a liquid N 2 cooled radiators that are placed opposite the telescope radiators to simulate cold space. In Febr. Mar. 2014 this test successfully demonstrated that it is possible to cool all 7 CCDs down to at least 93 o C, the optimal temperature for operating the cameras. And also maintain the electronic boxes at the nominal Temperature of 20 C.
erosita End to End Test at PANTER The last end to end test of the erosita telescope before delivery to Russia will be performed at PANTER. In this critical test all systems, both hardware and software, will be checked out. As erosita will be placed upright into PANTER the on board Fe55 calibration sources will be used to illuminate the CCDs. The PANTER X ray Test Facility is ideally suited for this end to end test because it is the cleanest large vacuum chamber available to us for such a test that also provides the cooling capability for the radiators.
erosita status Summary We have 8 excellent Mirror Modules We have a perfectly working X ray camera The telescope and its subsystems are qualified end to end test test at PANTER succesfull in Febr. March 2014 X ray Mirror Assembly (Mirror + X ray Baffle) Calibration beginning next week, completion end of this summer CameraS CCDs are all characterised and Calibration begins as soon electronics fabrication is completed After end to end test in PANTER mid 2015 before delivery to Russia for a Launch beginning 2016,, 27
